A New Design for a Solar Dryer

Agricultural produce can spoil quickly. In India, solar dryers damage around 10% of harvested crops. This comes to around 15 million tons of food grains each year. Preserving such agricultural produce by drying reduces wastage and allows storage of food needed. Drying makes produce lighter and smaller with value addition. Drying is the most established

Engineering Large‐Grain Metal Halide Perovskite Films via Chemical Vapor Deposition for High‐Performance, Ultralow‐Noise Perovskite Photodetectors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chemical vapor deposition produces large‐grain, phase‐pure CsPbBr3 films (grains up to 35 µm) with Drude‐like terahertz photoconductivity and twofold higher carrier mobility versus spin‐coated references. These microstructural advances translate into photodetectors with a detectivity of 8.4 × 1012 Jones, dark current below 1 pA cm−2, X‐ray sensitivity ...

Advancing Energy Efficiency in Smart Windows via Dual‐Responsive Electro‐Thermochromism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A durable and stable quasi‐solid‐state electro‐thermal dual‐responsive photothermal regulation device has been employed in advanced energy‐efficient smart windows. The devised device not only incorporates a thermochromic hydrogel characterized by high ionic conductivity, high optical transmittance, and a low LCST, but also comprises an electrochromic ...

Bio‐Inspired Gradient Coatings Enhance the Leading Edge Erosion Resistance of Wind Blades

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rain‐induced erosion of the wind turbine blade leading edge poses a critical challenge to maintenance and operation. Here, we propose a bio‐inspired approach for erosion protection utilising a platelet‐reinforced polyurethane coating with a graded through‐thickness architecture.

Evaporation Kinetics Engineering Suppressed Bimolecular Recombination in All‐Polymer Solar Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, phenanthrene (Ph), a volatile solid additive with a weak tendency toward self‐aggregation, is introduced as a donor‐selective morphology regulator in benchmark all‐PSC systems. The moderate evaporation kinetics of Ph enable cooperative crystallization of donors and acceptors, leading to an increased fractal dimension with reduced donor ...
